I'm not writing The Ramones off because they used a few chords or more. I love The Ramones! And I know their importance to the punk scene. I just think that The Clash accomplished much more than The Ramones ever did musically. A lot of The Ramones stuff sounds incredibly similar to itself even if they did use a few more chords.
